More than 250 elements of the first batch, which include components of one of the protective “houses” (huts), are intended to ensure the safety of scientists when working with synchrotron radiation beams. These structures, which can reach 20 meters in length, are intended to be used in experiments.
Alexey Gogolev, Head of the Advanced Research Department of TPU, stated that the experience of manufacturing structures for the first station will be taken into account when creating all subsequent stations. The scientists also developed software for use at SKIF, which is registered in the software registry of the Russian Ministry of Digital Development.
The first six of 30 experimental stations planned for the SKIF Mass Use Center’s megascience project will be operational by the end of 2024.
